Do you know those days when you don’t feel like spending too much time cooking, but still want to bring something good and homemade to the table? Well, this quick savory zucchini tart is perfect for those moments. It’s a very simple recipe, really accessible to everyone, and saves lunches and dinners in no time.
I often make it when I have some fresh zucchinis in the fridge that I’m not sure how to use. Just dice or thinly slice them, sauté them in a pan for a few minutes with some oil and chopped shallot, just until they soften and release all their aroma. Meanwhile, in a bowl, I beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and, if desired, some pepper, then add some cubed Galbanino that will melt during cooking, giving the tart a cheesy and delightful texture. Mix everything, pour into a ready-made puff pastry base… and into the oven.😀
In about 30 minutes it’s ready: golden on the outside, soft and tasty inside.
A rustic zucchini tart perfect to serve as an appetizer, main course, or even to take to a picnic. It’s versatile and liked by everyone, both adults and kids. If you want to give it an extra touch, you can add aromatic herbs or diced cooked ham.
In short, it’s one of those quick and easy zucchini recipes that become real kitchen jokers. Trust me, you’ll love it too.
